The Cascade Catechism.

changed?
A.SThey should when such change

cade county?
A.-Most decidedly.
Q.-Whe are opposed to the bill?
Alt is opposed chiefly by some per-
sons in Fort Benton who are actuated by
mean, selfish motives.
Q.-Have they any right to speak for
the entire county?
A.-They have not One of them, Mr..
Conrad, promised to support the bill,
but is now working against it.
Q.-What is the source of the Helena
opposition.
Alt is presumably the work Of Tom
Power in revenge for the supposed harm
which the Manitoba railroad will inflict
on his steamboat business.
Q-Why does he connect the Manitoba

A.-No. Great Falls has grown in spite
of Conrad, Powers and the whole Benton
outfit, and will continue to grow.

A Manly Amend.

In reference to remark incidentally
made by the LeGder, that Choteau county,
Montana, was a resort for criminals, the
Great Falls TRIBUNE rises to observe:
"Had this paragraph appeared in some
journal of the benighted east we would
not be surprised, but we are astonished
that it should be printed by the Cheyenne
Leader, live newspaper, published in the
heart of the great west, at city which .is
the home of cattle kings and others who
are we'll acquainted with Montana. 1t is
we'll known that Choteau county is not a
'sresort for criminals that the people are
peaceable and orderly, and that the court
calendar is always light and has not con-
tained murder Indictment for years"
This is certainly very good record,
which we weuld like to be able to dupli-
cate in our own county, and we therefore
cheerfully give choteau county the hen, bene1

". Because the new county will re-
move the burdens, inconvenience and
heavy expense attendent upon the remote
ness of the districts from their county
seats which were established when this
northern region was almost devoid Of peo-
pie.
v For these and many other reasons
including our ability to maintain a county
government efficiently, we call upon the
representatives of Montana to manifest
their good will, their sagacity and their
sympathy with new, progressive settle
ments by passing the Cascade county bill
which now awaits their approval.
On motion, it was decided to.transmit
the above resolutions by telegraph to the
speaker and members of the house of rep
resentatives in order that they may be
read in the Legislature to-day.

Killed at Anaconda.

ANACONDA, September 6.-Another dis
tressing accident on the Montana Union
occurred near the depot. Brakeman A.
J. Leopold had thrown the switch and
given the signal to the engineer and tile
fireman to come ahead as all was right.
He was standing at the switch and the
engine and cars were three car lengths
from him. He attempted to jump on the
first ore car when his foot caught between
the two rails and having no sure place to
hold ON to the car, he fell and the first
pair of trucks ofthe heavy laden cars pass
ed over him before the engine could be

ed railroad war, it says: "Some two or
three years ago the Manitoba road, recog-
nizing the inevitable march of events, be-
gan building lines which pointed to Du-
1uth, and made equal rates to Minneapolis
and to this city. Minneapolis protested
loudly. but vainly, until the Minneapolis
& Pacific was built with the avowed OBJ
ject of compellinga return to the old dis
elimination in favor of Minneapolis.
Last winter, when the demand for diff
erential was made, Duluth's elevators
were full, and as the Manitoba did not
want to haul any wheat to Duluth Just
then, it readily conceded the dlfferentlal.
But this year it has been building new
lines west and southwest with extraordl-
nary energy, until, to the horror OF the
Minneapolis Tribune, sit is prepared to
handle wheat grown directly west, IT not
actually southwest, of Minneapolis, and it
proposes to haul that grain to Duluth at
the same rate as to Minneapolis"
The Neeos refers to the railroads that
will join in the fight, and says:
"These allies will fight with the energy
born of despair What will be the forces
on the other side? Foremost, of course, is
the great Manitoba system, with its mar
velous arrangement of strategic lines. 1t
will be big fight, but Mr.. Hill is great
fighter never goes into fight until he
has looked the ground all over and is
thoroughly ready, and he has been pre-
pairing for this particular fight for good
while. A gentleman prominent in rail-
road circles said recently: Mr.. Hill has
been getting ready for this ever since the
Minneapolis & Pacific began to build into
his territory. The irrepressible conflict
is begun, and have no doubt how it will
end. The decline Of Minneapolis will
date from August %, 1884, that being the
date when the new tariff gees into effect.
The Northern Pacific will stand side by
side with the Manitoba in the fight. Du-
luth is the natural shipping point for this
road anyway, every point on its lines, ex
cept those south of Little Falls being
nearer to Duluth than to Minneapolis.
There is another tremendous pewer,which
will be on the side of Duluth in this fight,
which the Minneapolis papers have said
nothing about, and that is the actioe sym

Gaining all the Time.

HELENA, September Especial to the
Tribune - The correspondent of the
Butte Inter lMoumtasa telegraphs as fol-
lows: The Cascade county question still
engrosses public attention. Bets are even
as to its passage in the house. The pre-
nounced opposition of Helena has had a
good effect rather than bad one and will
help instead of hinder its passage. It
is understood that Great Falls has as
sumed $4,000, which fact has been put
before the legislature. The question of
county division will come up in the house
about the middle of the week, when Col.
Rroadwater will be back. He is strong
supporter of the measure.

Monumental Liars.

For downright fa.sehoods the resolu-
tions adopted by small coterie in Benton
on Friday take the cake. The only grain
of truth is that they have "heard with re-
gret' that the council has passed the bill.
The first lie is stthat Mr. T. E. Collins is
serving his own interests instead of that
of nine-tenths of his constituents. !" This
has been fully answered by a comparison
of the votes cast here and in Benton.
The next is the old chestnut that owing to
ssthe heave stock loss our revenue will
not pay our current expenses ard interest
on our Indebtedness" This has been
amply refuted by such facts as the addi-
ton of 200 miles of railroad to the county
assessment roll. The biggest lie is that
which speaks of the bill as "a fraudulent
scheme which is wholly for selfish pur-
poses.n w. G. Conrad and Jere Sullivan
who signed these resolutions, know well
that the bill is not fraudulent and that
so far from its being sselfish" the petitions
demonstrate the impatience of our entire
peop1el to be disconnected with persons
who endorse such shameful falsehoods.

characteristic of her race. For some time
she has had a white lover, vino claimed
more than an average share of good looks,
and who is believed to have come OF
good family in the east, but through
devious courses had to leave happy
home and seek refuge in the west. He
drifted from one degradation to lower
in swift succession, and came here about
year ago. Here he became infatuated
with the dusky jumbo, who returned his
admiration and accepted him as her lover.
He frequented gambling hells since he
came here, never having done an honest
days work and, what is strange, his in
fatuation for the woman increased rather
than diminished. Among the visitors at
her bagnio was young private soldier,
belonging to the company at the fort. He
had lately shown the woman some atten-
tions, and the favor with which they were
received by her had on more than one
occasion led to scenes between the woman
and her lover, which nearly led to blood
shed. Saturday morning the dusky cy-
prian hired a rig in town and drove down
to the fort, where the gay lothorio, who
had lately turned her tickle fancy, was
waiting her. They drove out to well
known roBd house, where they spent the
afternoon in carousing. The lover heard
that she had left town in a rig, and dis
covered that she had taken the direction
of the fort. Surmising that the soldier
was basking in her smiles, he procured
navy revolver and started off after the
pair in hurry. He found they had gone
to the resort in question. The two, of
whom he was in search, were drinking
freely and the deserted lover was standing
beside the pair, before they were aware
of his presence. Without an instants
| warning he placed the weapon at the
soldiers breast and shot him through the
heart. The report had hardly rung out
ere it was followed by a. second, and the
| murderer fell down on the floor with
bullet in his brain, from his own hand.
The cause of this murder and suicide gave
an unearthly scream and fell in convul-
| sions on the floor. She was brought back
| to her house and has been raving ever
sincs. The two men were taken, one to
the fort and the other to the city under
takers, and were buried this afternoon
without any ceremony.

Motives Explained.

It should be horne in mind that the OPP
position to the creation Of Cascade county
which has been developed within the last
few days on the part of the citizens Of
Helena, is something entirely new. In
the attempt to pass the same bill last win
ter and when previous efforts were made
by the people of Sun River to create Dear
born county, the utmost Indifference was
manifested by Helena as to the matter of
cutting off their distant and thin1y settled
part of Lewis and Clarke county. In this
sudden awakening by the Helena Board
OF Trade to the great importance of this
strip of lane, the working of the willy Tom
Power is plainly seen. To those who live
in northern Montana, it is we'll understood
why he opposes the Cascade county bill.
1t is simply this He is afraid the new
county will give some advantage to Great
Falls, the proposed county seat, and that
Fort Benton, where his principal interests
are located, will suffer from it. Using
the tactics of his former patrons in Mon
tana, he transfers the fight as far as pos
sible from the place where his interests
are at stake. We have no fear that this
strategy will win.
In this connection we would state that
the belief in this region is general that 7.
C. Power is determined opponent of the
Manitoba railway which promises so
much for the development of all Montana
and that his bitter opposition to the Cas-
cade county bill has been intensified from
the fact that Mr.. Hill and Col. Broadwater
are interested in Great Falls. It is we'll
that light should be thrown upon this
mans motives.

GENERAL BUSINESS.
The Bounty Law Amended-Silver
Bow Gains Member-The
License Bill Passed.

HELENA, September 6.-The bounty
bill is the most talked of proposition, but
the members of the house are so non
committal that it is not safe to hazard an
opinion. In the apportienment bill, which
passed the committee of the whole yester-
day morning, Silver Bow gains an addi-
tional member and by it will have one
sixth of the entire house. This the Butte
delegation consider victory.
The amendments to the bounty law
recommended by the committee OF the
whole were adopted. The amendments
are to fix the bounty on squirrels at three
cents, half cent to 60 to the county
commissioners, and three cents on prairie
commissioners. The bill was ordered en-
crossed for third reading.
House bill No. 90, amending the print
ing law by making contracts to be made
annually instead of bi-annually, was re-
ferred to the committee on printing.
House bill No, 8, concerning licenses,
was read the third time, by unanimous
consent. Mr.. Toole offered an amend
ment that banks and bankers pay $15 and
$25 instead $25 and $50. The amend
ment was adopted and the bill passed the
house by an unanimous vote. The COM
mittee of the whole, Mr.. Marshall in the
chair, considered house bill No. 10 ap-
portioning the membership of the house.
A general discussion was had as to whether
Silver Bows representation should be
increased by an additional representative,
taking one from Custer county.
SILVER BOW WINS.
The general feeling seemed to be that
Silver Bow had enough with three repre-
! sentatives. Mr. Anderson maintained that
with two sessions year, he would con-
slider it an imposition to make one county
furnish one-siXth of the whole house, as
| the expenses would fall too heavily on the
county or the individual On motion for
| passage, eight votes recorded for and
seven against. The committee arose and
| the house adjourned until 10 O'Clock to-
day.
OPPOSING THE ELECTION BILL.
In the council three petitions were intro.
| duced by Mr. Holiday, from the citizens
| of Bozeman, two against and one in favor
